Good news / bad news about AccessU
Good news first - people are loving this year's AccessU lineup of accessibility topics and instructors. Classes are beginning to fill up, and the excitement is building about our upcoming gathering in Austin in May. The teaching schedule is just great this year and we are looking forward to a vibrant three days of teaching and learning from one another.
But there is a downside. Not everyone can get to Austin in May and we will miss some of you! Looking for a way to include everyone - we are all about inclusion after all - we have an idea, but we need your help.
Below you will find class descriptions of some of the most popular classes. Some have filled up for the in-person training and some are only available in post-conference sessions. You can help! Please read the following descriptions and then take the on-line survey to tell us which classes you would like to see in a one-day, online version of AccessU.
We have included twelve courses in our short list, but we can only broadcast six. And we may have left out one or two that you are especially interested in. So feel free to checkout the full list of AccessU classes and request that we include any of those in our broadcast webinar day of AccessU at Your Desk.
The survey will also ask which day you prefer. If we have sufficient interest, we will produce one day of remote training. AccessU at Your Desk would present six courses in an elearning format and make the archives available to all. Thanks for your input!
